Severity: Medium
JoomlaPack detected that your PHP configuration dissallows the use of certain functions. This is a normal security precaution taken on commercial hosts, but it might interfere with your backup process. The usual set of disabled functions for security reasons doesn't affect JoomlaPack's operation. However, some hosts are very eager to disable lots of functions, some of them with low or inexistent security implications. If some of those functions are used by JoomlaPack, then JoomlaPack will fail with a PHP error.
JoomlaPack detects potential issues which might negatively impact the backup process. Many of them are caused by specific PHP configurations. The cause of those issues is mostly or thoroughly known, but since it resides in the server configuration which JoomlaPack can not control we can't provide some "patch" or bug fix to solve them. We try to provide practical solutions or workarounds instead.
The severity of each of these warnings is displayed on the top of this help screen. There are three levels: low, medium and high. The "Low" level implies that the detected issue will most probably have no impact on you. "Medium" level warnings have a higher chance of causing problems, but the proposed workaround may be applied to alleviate its effects. "High" level warnings should be treated as errors; the detected issue will cause backup failure unless the proposed workaround is applied.
Remember, if all else fails, contact us on our support forum . We are here to help you. Please, before posting to the forum, try to follow the "workaround" procedure outlined above and tell us that you did try the proposed solution before asking us for support.
